Multiple Weather Factors Affect Apparent Survival of European Passerine Birds
Weather affects the demography of animals and thus climate change will cause local changes in demographic rates. In birds numerous studies have correlated demographic factors with weather but few of those examined variation in the impacts of weather in different seasons and, in the case of migrants, in different regions. Using capture-recapture models we correlated weather with apparent surviva...
متن کاملMigrants in Neotropical bird communities: an assessment of the breeding currency hypothesis
1. Explanations for the integration of migratory and non-migratory (resident) birds in the Neotropics have been complicated by the paradox that arthropod abundances are low when bird abundances reach their annual peak. The breeding currency hypothesis offers an explanation for this paradox by postulating that resident birds are limited in the breeding season by the availability of large arthrop...
متن کاملLong-Term Demographic Trends, Limiting Factors, and the Strength of Density Dependence in a Breeding Population of a Migratory Songbird
EFFECTIVE CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT of migratory bird species requires an understanding of when and how their populations are limited and regulated. From 1986 to 1999, we studied the processes that determine the abundance of a temperate-tropical migrant passerine, the Black-throated Blue Warbler (Dendroica caerulescens), during the breeding portion of its annual cycle. We found that young fle...
متن کاملOrganochlorine pollutants and stable isotopes in resident and migrant passerine birds from northwest Michoacán, Mexico.
Although concentrations of organochlorine compounds (OCs) in birds from most of the United States and Canada have decreased over the last 30 years, there is still concern that migrant birds might be exposed to elevated concentrations of OCs during migration in Latin America. The Lerma-Chapala Basin in west-central Mexico is an important migration corridor and wintering area for many species. Th...
متن کاملEffect of Geolocators on Migration and Subsequent Breeding Performance of a Long-Distance Passerine Migrant
Geolocators are small light-weight data loggers used to track individual migratory routes, and their use has increased exponentially in birds. However, the effects of geolocators on individual performance are still poorly known. We studied geolocator effects on a long-distance migrating passerine bird, the northern wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe L.). We asked the general question of whether geoloc...
